These cost about $70 at Depot or Lowes. 

I wanted to get started in investing in multifamily real estate in 2022 to take advantage of low interest rates and rising rents.

We are cash flowing over 2K a month and the house has appreciated to high 300s-low 400s if we were to sell today.

Despite its high purchase price, the neighborhood's strong market demand and low renovation needs made it a promising investment for maximizing profit with minimal turnaround time.

That, combined with hidden repairs combined with self-managing a low income could all construe to thousands in losses. 

It is the easiest barrier to entry (best Interest rate and low down payment req).

It’s building equity in an appreciating asset with a low 2.75% mortgage.

Get the inspection report and check comparable properties quickly for condition and then go to the seller with your proposed reductions and be able to point out condition-comparable properties in keeping with your proposed price reduction.

We appealed 16 properties this year and have gotten 12 results so far with $116,454 reduction in values and 4 more pending the hearing.

I've even heard of GCs using auction type settings for returned items at Home Depot and Lowes for steep discounts.I've learned a lot about the GC game as I was up close to over 40 projects last two years and some went well and some did not and when they did not it was all Contractor related.If a GC isn't sourcing cheap materials at the same time milking the hell out of his 150-200 per day workers, then you can find yourself eating into your margins real fast.
